Squarenix sucked this whole gen and continues to suck! Always the same ambiguous answer to questions. The longest console gen is almost over and still no FFvsXIII. FFX HD was announced but no further news and the same ambiguous answer. I hate how low the company has fallen since the 90s and early 2000s.

I used to be a fan of SE... I bought a PS3 at launch primarily for a FF game. I pre-ordered XIII and... well, we all played XIII so I don't have to elaborate. But being a fan, I just marked it up as a game to forget. I gave SE another chance with XIII-2, and I will admit, it was much more of a FF game than XIII, but still not what I expect from the series. I respect SE for not being afraid to take chances, but I don't think FF needs take so many chances. There is a boundary where you innovate, and where you damage a beloved franchise. If SE wants to take chances, the should do that with new IP's, or some of their past IP's which haven't been around for a long time. All that said, I will continue to play SE games. I'm am just not expecting much from their RPG's until they prove themselves again. FF X HD has an opportunity to redeem them, and if Vs ever comes out, I hope it puts FF back up as king of the JRPG's.

There are good games out there, no doubt, but there's a lot of problems with their ports and remakes, half of their main series starting with FF10 either sucked or had major issues im some form or another. Most of their side games were completely average or below average quality which may or may not have received high marks because of some redeeming factors. Or games that were of high quality with some of the worst story telling I've ever seen(Dissidia.)

@kupomogli: Clearly another person who hasn't played FFX talking about it as though they know what kind of game it is. FFX is Squaresoft's last great game before the merger. It is a fantastic FF game only trolls put down.

@kupomogli: See, unlike you I'm not going to revert to base childishness and spew vulgarities around. What I will do is address your points. BTW, nice random photobucket picture that could be of anyone's collection. That's really solid proof there.

Paragraph 1: 90% of JRPGs on the market make you take a linear path in story progression for the first part of the game. The difference is in how it's done. Whereas FFXIII forced you to do it, even going so far as to limit your ability to level until you did go forward with the story, FFX allowed you to explore each area and each individual person in the game. You could grind, you could talk to NPC's, you could hunt for treasure, and as soon as you got passed Luca you could play the very first minigame in Blitzball which could have been its own standalone game. Crisis Core is a spinoff handheld title that has no bearing on the discussion.

Sub-Paragraph 1: Yep, Kimahri was useless. What a shocker, a game with a useless character. That's never happened before, especially in Final Fantasy. *gasp* And try using Lulu with a piercing weapon against a hard enemy and see how far you get. Go on, I'll wait. Auron is more than just piercing weapons. For most of the game he's the power hitter and is the only character that can inflict all Break statuses without needing an item or Overdrive. Just because you don't know how to use him effectively doesn't make him a bad character.

Paragraph 2: The game wasn't meant to be difficult. There hasn't been a "difficult" Final Fantasy since FFIV. The battle system was designed to give players a different way of approaching battles. You couldn't beat every enemy with the same 3 characters until late game. It made you have a reason to use all the characters, even Kimahri, as opposed to some games where there's no point in using a few of the characters when you can have the same 3 or even 1 character just OP everything. Clearly you didn't get the point.

Sub-Paragraph 2: You mean like right away? You can branch off easily if you farm Lock keys. You don't have to stick with the same path for the whole game. Hell Kimahri is the first character that can become anyone. He can be Rikku or Auron before you get either character. Yeah, choices in how you want you characters to develop is such a bad game mechanic. We should be restricted, that always makes things better. /s

Paragraph 3: This is where you show your complete lack of taste in games. I could spend the entire post telling you why you're so incredibly wrong about the story, but there's no use because someone who thinks FFX's story is garbage is a lost cause. FFX has one of the best stories of the franchise and you are in the extreme minority in thinking it has a terrible story and no likeable characters. You probably were too busy drooling over Lulu trying to.. actually I'm not going to bother going there.

Sentence under Paragraph 3: The music was excellent.

Paragraph 4: And this is where you show yourself to be bat-shit crazy. You praise the Charlie's Angels, girl power, ATB/Job System revisited sequel over the vastly superior prequel. Just like the story paragraph, there is literally no point in discussing this with someone that is a complete lost cause.

Final paragraph: Though FFXII is a good game, too bad for you that it was created AFTER the merger. FFXI is the last Squaresoft FF game made and no one considers it to be a legitimate part of the main series. Tough luck there bud.

@N4GDgAPc: Sure there are, not disputing that, but there are those that hated the game, then there are those who hated the game and are trolls. Guess which one he is.

After the amazing Persona 4 Golden, I dont think i'm interested in FF X. To me, FF X was the beginning of the end (not many interactive npc's; characters dress like cosplay rejects, battles are generic; linear paths with no world map; etc).

I hope Atlus crushes Square, so that Square can get serious about JRPG's and feel the pressure to reboot their FF staff. And kick Enix to the curb too while their at it.

Lol i owned FFX. And it was decent in my eyes at the time. But Persona series just kills FF. The mantle of jrpg king has been unanimously passed on to Atlus. RIP square...you were great before the Enix merger.

You're wrong Irishguy. Tabata said this to Gamespot: "Due to market reasons, we are taking a clean slate in terms of our plans. We feel strongly about bringing this title to the fans in North America and Europe, so if an opportunity arises that can become a conclusive factor, we are prepared to go into consideration right away."

Seriously. I'd rather not even know unless the game's coming out within the next 6 months. Tired of drooling over stuff we never get. Type-0 will prob get fan translated before we get a western release.

It's been 15 months to the day since it's announcement. At that point it wasn't said where they were in development, or even if it started, just that they were going to do it. No details were given on how they were going to handle the remake. For all we know it will be released in a few months.

It's really no wonder that square is holding off on announcement things now, because apparently they can't do anything right by gamers.

someone that has something smart to say! for one with kingdom hearts hd with all the content added is still not even close to how big FFX was. Really everygame I've played hasn't really gone HD. Just added anti-aliasing. No one has took the time and retextured everything to make it HD. The textures still look like straight from ps2. Hopefully they do this in FF10.

I think they upscale the textures in most of them. In the PS2 days I think most textures weren't made in high-res, like they are now, then downsampled, so there was no "better" source for them to work off of.

They may have added some smoothing things to the models and stuff for some games. There have been varying degrees of "HD" in the remakes, so they are all handled differently. I know the Sly Collection looks wonderful.

I don't disagree that that would make people very happy. I just disagree about the 3 years ago part. Sure, they could have done 1 of those, instead of the 13 trilogy. The problem is, the projects you listed are bigger, and would take longer to create.
